Hokitika Glowworm Dell

sight scenic

Free roadside grotto that lights up with glowworms after dark.

Why go

A free, easy glowworm experience right by the road — no boat or cave ticket required.

On the edge of Hokitika, this free roadside dell is a damp, fern-walled grotto that fills with the blue-green pinpricks of glowworms after dark. There's no tour and no fee — just a short path off the highway that, on a moonless night, lights up overhead.
